    Are they tied into the frame or just bolted to the cab like side steps?

    What brand are they?
    Mine have a steel plate that is bolted and runs alone the bottom of the frame and I can jack the truck by them.

    Cali Raised Off Road brand, thats what I am thinking maybe I forgot a plate but honestly the directions from Cali Raised were pretty poor for the long bed model could have used more pictures.

    They shouldn't bend down or up.
    Not normal, maybe someone else can chime in.
    Good luck with your truck.

    Check the bolts holes on both sides? Have a heavy something on the one side momentarily? Maybe enough to push them down a bit in the bolt holes?

    It's this a photo after install or a photo after bashing on them?

    :cookiemonster:

    Maybe take them off and see if your brackets are parallel

    I just purchased some never installed Mobtown sliders and mine look the same. I can't figure out how to seat them completely against the frame. I've undone the front bolts, jacked up the rear, jumped up and down on the front trying to level them out and can't figure it out. Hopefully someone has a solution here!

    On mine there is about an 1/8" gap between the slider and the frame in the rear. It's like the channel that seats against the frame is too narrow at the bottom.

    Given that sliders are designed to take the weight of the truck slamming down on them...that would have to be a very large person

    I have Cali Raised Offroad sliders installed myself few weeks ago.
    Just went and took measurements.
    My passenger side rear is about 0.5cm lower than driver side rear. I thought I did a good job of leveling.. but guess not.

    I can't speak for CaliRaised but mine came with a frame plate/captured nuts that went inside the frame rail to accept the slider bolts. There wasn't any room for adjustment but again these were different sliders

    I agree. Mine did not even come with instructions and when I reached out to them, they just sent me a link to Cali Raised LED slider install web page.
    Like no word of apology or any sort of conversation.
    Literally answered with: “http://www….”
